Can we get a REEEWIND? TruffleShuffle's 2018 Review...
Phew! Well another year has gone, a few more 'laughter lines' have appeared and we're another year wiser... yeah right!
So much went down over 2018 that we couldn't dare to talk about it all, from people rejoining the team (yay!), building our very own cinema and games room in the office (double yay!), to a whoooole heap of exclusive goodies we got to work on and get on the site. What a year!
As looking back to the past is pretty much our jobs! We thought we would take a quick peep at some of our best and most memorable products from 2018. Enjoy!
It all started with a mouseâ¦and 90 years later, we still can't get enough of Disney's beloved Mickey! Mickey Mouse officially made his big screen debut in 1928's Steamboat Willie and fast became Disney's mascot and most-loved cartoon character. This year we marked Mickey's landmark 90th birthday with a playful collection of Disney goodies - and oh boy, did you TruffleShufflers celebrate along with us! From snapping up classic jewellery to timeless tees; beauty treats to fashion-forward bags from the likes of Loungefly and Hype, Disney fans showed their love for the iconic mascot in style. Get ready for more magical mousey additions in 2019!

Gromit Unleashed Hits Bristol!
Are you as big a fan of the troublesome, adventurers Wallace and Gromit as we are?? Then this could be right up your street....literally!
Yes an amazing 80 creatively decorated, 5ft tall statues of one of our all-time favourite TV dogs Gromit have been carefully placed all around our hometown of Bristol as part of a fund raising effort. These have all been carefully designed by some pretty big names including the likes of Sir Quentin Blake, Cath Kidston, One Direction's Zayn Malik, The Beano and TV's Harry Hill!
Gromit Unleashed, which has been organised by Aardman Animations and the Bristol Children's Hospital charity - Wallace & Gromit's Grant Appeal - will run for just 10 weeks. These amazing sculptures have been sponsored by many local businesses and will be auctioned off after the event on October 3rd to raise money for the Children's Hospital. Much like the gorilla statues in 2011 which raised about £500,000 for charity, we really hope to see even more interest and are so pleased to see the cheeky chappies around the city every day.
I even get to walk past this amazing one every day at Temple Meads train station. Always makes me smile...
Nick Park, creator of the Oscar-winning animated characters said: "To see him this massive is incredible. I always thought Gromit would make it big, but not like this,""I was quite worried, because I'm quite fussy about Gromit, and I didn't know if he would make a very good blank canvas for the artists to work on. But I think I am more just honoured that he is being used."
